Britain Grapples With Debt of Greek Proportions - NYTimes.com
Britain Grapples With Debt of Greek Proportions - NYTimes.com
"As Greece’s debt troubles batter the euro, Britain has done its utmost to stay above the fray.
The pound fell to $1.4954 on Tuesday, its lowest level against the dollar in months.
Until now, that is.
Suddenly, investors are asking if Britain may soon face its own sovereign debt crisis if the government fails to slash its growing budget deficits quickly enough to escape the contagious fears of financial markets."
This is a worldwide disaster and the worst is yet to come.
Prepare!

President Obama Wants Your Kid!
Looking for an internship?
According to the Altas Shrugs website, students in an Ohio high school were given these applications in class for internships with President Obama's Organizing for America program, a political activism organization.
But why is the President using his campaign icon and platform to actively recruit children to push his agenda?
Why are they being trained to use the Democratic Party voter record system?
Why are they focusing on implementing government run healthcare?"
Sadly, I think we all know why.
Our schools have been taken over by socialist/progressive activists who have seen their greatest success with the AlGore global warming brainwash movie.
They got away with it then.
They think they have free reign over our children's political indoctrination.
And they will continue have that control until we start going to school board meetings all over our country.

State halts practice of giving diplomas to special-education graduates
State halts practice of giving diplomas to special-education graduates-MLive.com
"State law is forcing local high schools to stop their practice of awarding diplomas to all graduating seniors, regardless of their abilities.
That means students with significant cognitive impairments at Muskegon High School will instead receive 'certificates of completion' when they attend commencement along with their classmates.
Muskegon and Muskegon Heights high schools are among very few statewide that have handed out high school diplomas to low-functioning special education students who complete an 'adaptive curriculum.'"
Those Muskegon and Heights grads must be SO proud of their diplomas...
How pathetic!
When will we citizens take back control of our schools from the big education, thug unions?

We spend $3 billion/yr on our roads and this article focuses on the need for MORE money from taxpayers but never questions just how our state spends the $3 billion.
Anyone wanna bet that a full review of how Jenny's bureaucrats spend our tax dollars might just be embarrassing to those who do the spending?

American reliance on government at all-time high
Washington Times - American reliance on government at all-time high
"The so-called 'Great Recession' has left Americans depending on the government dole like never before.
Without record levels of welfare, unemployment and other government benefits as well as tax cuts last year, the income of U.S. households would have plunged by an astonishing $723 billion — more than four times the record $167 billion drop reported last month by the Commerce Department.
Moreover, for the first time since the Great Depression, Americans took more aid from the government than they paid in taxes."

Minority student apologizes for noose in UC San Diego library
"In a letter published Monday on the front page of the UC San Diego student newspaper, the Guardian, the student wrote that the incident was 'a mindless act and stupid mistake' and was not meant to recall the lynching of blacks.
'As a minority student who sympathizes with the students that have been affected by the recent issues on campus, I am distraught to know that I have unintentionally added to their pain,' the student wrote."
Oh!
She's a "minority".
Never mind.....
Yes, we have two Americas...
How sad.

Maryland's Pension Tsunami
Maryland's Pension Tsunami
"The Pew Center on the States released earlier this week 'The Trillion Dollar Gap: Underfunded State Retirement Systems and the Roads to Reform.'
It should have been called 'The Road to Serfdom' like the Hayek classic.
According to the report, Maryland's 'management of its long-term pension liability is cause for serious concern.'
It shows that Maryland's liabilities grew 77 percent from 1999 to 2008 while assets only grew 43 percent, a recipe for MUCH higher taxes."

Well, that makes sense.

But then, I'd rather get a root canal than watch Olbermann, too."

Young voters increasingly identify with conservative politics
"A recent Pew Research Center report said 40 percent of voters ages 18 to 28 lean Republican, up from 30 percent last year.
Fifty-four percent of those voters said they lean Democratic, down from 62 percent last year."
Very interesting article.
Note that young folks lean more with conservative politics than with republican politicians.
The GOPers need a real plan to connect with these young voters at the grass roots level.
They have NO plan yet.

"Then, ABC News reported that its Consumer Comfort Index plunged to the minus-50 mark and now hovers just four points from its record low.
The Conference Board survey is particularly interesting because it's broken up into two components.
The 'Present Situation Index' -- meaning, how's your life today? -- dropped nearly six points to 19.4.
But the 'Expectations Index' of how those surveyed believe the economy will be six months from now declined a whopping 13.5 points.
Holy crisis!
Even with the stock market still bubbling and media trying its damnedest to convince us at least a million times a day that there's an economic recovery, the American public isn't buying it.
Worse, we've become a clinically depressed nation that doesn't think the situation will ever get better.
OK, so what's really going on?
Well, this is what you get when the government lies to people and when those in elected office believe their own fibs."
